California Now Travel Stories |
Last year, Visit California unveiled the California Now Network, the ‘years in the making’ collection of distribution channels and loyal, engaged audience members. This year, Visit California is expanding the Network with a new type of content, giving our industry the option to collaborate with us and be a part of the California Now Travel Stories. By harnessing the power of user-generated content Visit California and the industry alike will be able to integrate compelling imagery in a story-style narrative across websites to be discovered by Google mobile search.
Through this program, Visit California is giving control of the narrative to our destinations so that they can create story-style content that will be indexed by Google Mobile search, can appear on destination sites, and will be used across VisitCalifornia.com. This effort essentially democratizes Content creation and puts the destination experts in control of their own story, with the ability to showcase both the known and the hidden gems that make their destination unique. See current Travel Stories here.
Furthermore, Visit California will be able to activate the entire industry around themes and topics (e.g. sustainable travel,) to foster greater alignment of the tourism industry around thematically related content that will help promote California in a cohesive way
.
Through this destination focused initiative, California’s Tourism industry will see:
- Greater collaboration between Visit California and the tourism industry
- First-mover advantage in Google Mobile Search
- The ability for destinations to deliver on another partner booking opportunity
HOW TO GET INVOLVED
- DMO partners: Reach out to travelstory@visitcalifornia.com if you are interested in signing up for the California Now Travel Story Platform. Educational workshops and webinars will be available to partners during the onboarding process.
- Non-DMO Partners: This is a destination-focused program. Please reach out to your local DMO if you are interested in collaborating in the California Now Travel Story Network.

Employers Take Note: California Employees Can Be “Silenced No More” In Workplace Settlement Agreements |
In a sweeping expansion of existing law, Governor Gavin Newsom signed legislation yesterday that broadly prohibits non-disclosure clauses in settlement agreements involving workplace harassment or discrimination on any protected bases, not just sex. SB 331 — known as the “Silenced No More Act” — takes what state lawmakers believe will be a final stand against employers preventing employees from discussing unlawful acts in the workplace.

The Benefits of Investing in Senior Tourism |
Due to their increasing participation in travel activities, seniors now represent one of the most important market segments in tourism. With time, seniors will not only represent an even bigger portion of the world’s population but might also control most of the world’s wealth, too.
Although investing in senior tourism is a safe bet, the hospitality sector is mostly concerned about meeting the needs and expectations of younger travelers.
